My niece is getting a loan pony this weekend. He hasnt done anything in over a year and hes over weight. My niece is 10 years old and a complete beginner so we will be starting with nice slow short hacks maybe twice/three times a week. She will be lead reined. Her friend has her own...

She's 24 and I'm not sure if it's registered ? The school has been around for years. Pretty well known around here.

In her group is only one other girl that is also a beginner. The other girl was worried about trotting without stirups and often gets told off for cutting corners. I said to her this doesn't seem right but I have never had a lesson so thought I would ask on here

My friend is on her 3rd riding lesson and she is a complete beginner. They are doing the rising trot and the horse she is on gets very close to the horse in front and the instructor said she has to stop her getting so close so tells her to tighten her reins so tight the whole time around the...

I posted yesterday how there are parts of my field horses won't eat. People are suggesting it may have beeb used as a toilet by previous horses. I have a 11.2hh pony who has ems. I have sectioned a bit of bare patch off for him and I feed him hay. With winter here now it won't be long until...

We had 2 acres with very long grass and turned out 4 horses on to it and once grazed planned on moving them to another field. They ate one half and refused to eat the other. We even tapped off the over grazed part keeping them in the opposite part. Still refused. They ended up waiting at the...

There is 7 horses and we have an 8 acre field and a 2 acres. All natives who are over weight a part from one 20 year old TB. We have too much grass! The 8 acres is probably 12 inches in length now the 2 acres is very over grazed. This is where I am confused. Short stressed grass is meant to...

Slightly confused so hoping some one can clear something up for me. My pony had a cushings test which came back clear but he has huge fat deposits all over his neck and his crest is huge. Vet said he could have EMS I'm planning on having a test done for it and started reading online and...

Breeds one TB who gets rugged well and stabled when bad. The rest are natives good wooly coats. The whole field is surrounded by over hanging trees and hedging so that's used for shelter. So put them in there December?

I have an 8 acres field I have left grow since it was baled in July. It's now probably a foot in length. I was going to use this as a winter field but I have a a couple of fatties and some one told me I should have them on a small bare patch through winter... I was led to believe wintering...

3 are 14hhs and over the other 3 are 12 hhs and under. October last year I moved 2 horses on 2 acres of standing hay and didn't have to feed hay until January. (Tried putting a bale in and it went off. They never touched it) This year I had 8 acres baled end of july and has grown from...

I'm sure I'm right about the weight. She's a big girl for her age. Height I'm guessing 5 foot 2? I did think she was too heavy that is why I been saying no but so many have said I'm silly. Thanks all.

He looks similar to a section a. Hes not fine at all pretty chunky but was a rescue so don't actually know his breeding. He's 15 years old. My children ride him who are both under 5. However my niece who is 10 has started to come up and help me and she loves grooming and cleaning the pony...

Got a 11.2hh pony. Very over weight. His crest is that big it looks as if he has a second neck that is starting to lean to the side. His previous owners kept him Stabled with hard feed every day in summer! Anyway I had bloods done luckily cushings/laminitis came back clear. I have started...
